What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a type of cosmetic surgery that is performed on the eyelids. It is designed to improve the appearance of the droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the area around the eyes.
During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the eyelids and remove any excess tissue that is causing the eyelids to sag or droop. The incisions are then closed with small stitches, which are typically removed within a week or two.
Blepharoplasty is often performed on people who are experiencing signs of aging in the eyelids, such as wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin, and bags under the eyes. However, it can also be performed on people who have inherited traits that cause their eyelids to droop or sag, or on people who have experienced trauma to the eyelids.
Who needs Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which can cause the skin around our eyes to sag and wrinkle. This can make us look tired or older than we actually are. In some cases, the skin can even droop to the point where it impairs our vision.
In addition to aging, some people may be born with eyelids that naturally droop or sag. This can be a genetic trait that is passed down through their family.
Finally, some people may require blepharoplasty as a result of trauma to the eyelids, such as a car accident or a sports injury.
If you are experiencing sagging or drooping eyelids, or if you are concerned about the appearance of your eyelids, it is important to talk to a qualified and experienced surgeon who can help you determine whether blepharoplasty is right for you. They will be able to evaluate your individual case and recommend the best course of treatment to achieve your desired results.

Types of Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery
There are several different types of blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, that can be performed depending on the individual’s needs and desired outcomes. Here are some of the most common types:
Upper Blepharoplasty:
This procedure is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. It can help to improve the appearance of sagging or drooping eyelids and can also help to improve vision if the excess skin is impairing it.
Lower Blepharoplasty:
This procedure is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids. It can help to reduce the appearance of bags under the eyes and can also help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines in the area.
Double Blepharoplasty:
This procedure is typically performed on Asian patients who have a “single eyelid” or monolid. It involves creating a crease in the upper eyelid to give the appearance of a “double eyelid.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty:
This procedure is designed to remove excess fat from the lower eyelids through an incision inside the lower eyelid. It does not involve removing any skin and is therefore a good option for patients who do not have significant skin sagging.
Laser Blepharoplasty:
This is a newer type of blepharoplasty that uses a laser to make the incisions and remove excess tissue. It is less invasive than traditional blepharoplasty and can result in a faster recovery time.
It is important to talk to a qualified and experienced surgeon about your individual needs and desired outcomes in order to determine the best type of blepharoplasty for you. They will be able to evaluate your individual case and recommend the best course of treatment to achieve your desired results.
What are the benefits of Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty, also known as hooded eyelid surgery, can provide numerous benefits, both aesthetic and functional. Some of the most common benefits of this procedure include:
- Improved appearance: Eyelid surgery can help to reduce the appearance of sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eyes, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
- Increased confidence: By improving the appearance of the eyes, many people who undergo blepharoplasty report feeling more confident and self-assured in their personal and professional lives.
- Better vision: In some cases, excess skin and fat around the eyelids can actually interfere with vision, making it difficult to see clearly. Eyelid surgery can help to improve vision by removing this excess tissue and opening up the eyes.
- Long-lasting results: While the aging process will continue, the results of hooded eye surgery are typically long-lasting, allowing patients to enjoy their more youthful appearance for many years to come.
- Minimal scarring: Because the incisions for eyelid surgery are typically made in the natural creases of the eyelids, any scarring is usually very minimal and not noticeable.
Overall, blepharoplasty/drooping eye surgery can be a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful, refreshed
appearance and improve both aesthetic and functional issues related to the eyes.
Eyelid Surgery Procedure
The procedure of blepharoplasty involves following steps
- Anesthesia is administered to the patient to ensure they are comfortable during the surgery.
- Small incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids to access the excess eyelid skin and fat that needs to be removed.
- The excess tissue is then removed and the remaining skin and fat are reshaped to create a more natural and youthful appearance.
- The incisions are closed with fine sutures that will be removed in the days following the surgery.
- Patients can expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes, but this typically resolves within a few days to a week.
- Patients should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for a few weeks after the surgery to allow for proper healing.
Blepharoplasty is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to ensure the best possible results.
What are the potential risks of Blepharoplasty?
Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty does come with potential risks and complications. Some of the most common risks associated with this procedure include:
- Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection at the site of the incisions.
- Bleeding: Blepharoplasty involves making incisions in the eyelids, which can result in bleeding.
- Dry eyes: In some cases, eyelid surgery can cause dry eyes, which can be temporary or permanent.
- Changes in vision: Although rare, there is a risk of changes in vision after eyelid surgery.
- Scarring: While the incisions made during blepharoplasty are typically small and made in the natural creases of the eyelids, there is a risk of scarring.
- Asymmetry: In some cases, the results of eyelid surgery may not be completely symmetrical, with one eye looking slightly different from the other.
- Anesthesia risks: As with any surgery that involves anesthesia, there is a risk of complications related to the anesthesia itself.
It is important for patients considering blepharoplasty to thoroughly discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with their surgeon prior to undergoing surgery, and to carefully follow all pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
How long does Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery last?
The results of blepharoplasty eyelid surgery can vary depending on the individual and the specific techniques used during the procedure. However, in general, the results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting.
While the aging process will continue over time, most patients can expect to enjoy the results of blepharoplasty for many years. However, it is important to note that the procedure does not stop the natural aging process, so patients may notice some changes to their eyelids over time.
In addition to the natural aging process, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking can also impact the longevity of the results of eyelid surgery. To maximize the benefits of the procedure, patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to follow all post-operative instructions provided by our doctor.
How much time does it take to recover from Blepharoplasty Surgery?
The recovery time for blepharoplasty/saggy surgery can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. In general, patients can expect to experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes for the first week or two following the surgery.
Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within 7-10 days after the surgery. However, strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks following the procedure to allow for proper healing.
It is also important for patients to follow all post-operative instructions provided by their surgeon to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal results. This may include using eye drops or ointments, avoiding makeup and other skincare products for a period of time, and attending follow-up appointments with the surgeon as needed.
